THE WRECK OF THE COLONIST.

The steamer Colonist, which was wrecked on the Newcastle Bar last month, has been sold for £155. The boats brought £20 7s. The cargo of coal and coke was not sold. Regarding the wreck the Sydney Morning Herald says :— " This is probably the most remarkable wreck on record as to want of salvage aid, or, at least, prompt and authorised assistance. Captain John Hall, representing the Sydney Underwriters' Association, went to the stranded ship, he was prepared to put 300 meu on to get her afloat in perhaps 48 hours. The home underwriters were involved to the tune of £16,500 on the hull, and at the time of Captain Hull's visit the ship did not appear to be irretrievably lost. Bad weather and mishaps might intervene between the attempt and success, but practically nothing was done to save the ship excepting the untiring and determined efforts made by Captain Mars, his officers, and crew, It is stated that the officers and rueu will return to .London On Monday next by the Orient Company's Oruba. When Captain Hall proposed, as a ready means to get the steamer off, to throw overboard the cargo of coal as fast as it could be got up, the harbour authorities interposed, insisting that it must be lightered. It was pointed out that in the event of a sea coming in, vessel and cargo would go to pieces, and what about the coal then? And it has so happened. What appears to be wanted in these cases is an authorised agent for the home underwriters, who could act as promptly as would be done were the accident to happen on the British coast."
